When you turn in the quest Shandris says "Huln Highmountian long has it been since I witnessed you in battle."
Which does remind of the Legion WQ where you got to be Huln in the Battle of the Ancients where he fought alongside the elves.
To Which he replies-
"Any friend of Jarod Shadowsong is a friend of mine."

RewardsOakheart Britches, Faewoven Leggings, Queensguard Greaves, 2g 57s 40c, 1,000 XP

Description

The quarry has been slain, and my duties fulfilled. The tirnenn are more than capable of defending their home from the lesser devourers. Nature will take its course. I will report back to Lord Herne and meet you at the Heart of the Forest. There we shall see what I will be hunting next.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

    We have everything we need, <name>. Now only the kill remains. We set the lure, weaken the beast, and land the final blow. Hunting is a battle of wills. Life or death hangs in the balance for all of us. It has always been this way, on Azeroth as in Ardenweald. Let the hunt begin.
